Southwest Division

La Habra 42, Cypress 13 FINAL

ANAHEIM — For 12 minutes, the Cypress High School football team kept two-time defending CIF-Southern Section Southwest Division champion La Habra dormant.
Then, thanks to six turnovers, the No. 3-seeded Highlanders stormed past Cypress 48-13 at Handel Stadium in Friday night’s divisional second-round game
.
With the victory, the Daily News’ top-ranked Highlanders (9-3) advances to next Saturday’s divisional semifinal as the road team against Sonora, a 27-20 winner over No. 2-seeded Laguna Hills on Friday.

The visiting Highlanders responded to being shut out in the first quarter by taking a 28-7 halftime lead.

Senior safety Will Peppard was the Highlanders’ catalyst by intercepting two passes and causing a fumble in the second quarter.

The Centurions (10-2), trailing 21-7, took over at their 18 with 4:32 left before halftime and drove to the La Habra 38.

With less than a minute left, Cypress quarterback Chris Austin’s pass to Jake Brito at the 30 was intercepted by Peppard and returned to the Centurions’ 41 with 45 seconds left.

Three plays later, quarterback Cody Clements (8 for 12 for 134 yards and four touchdowns) found receiver Jake Neely for a 53-yard touchdown that put the Highlanders ahead 28-7 following Sean Wale’s extra point.

Peppard had his hand in the previous Highlanders score when he stripped Austin with 6:51 left in the first half and the ball was recovered by cornerback Michael Sparling at the 30.

Four runs by Drake Griffin (16 carries for 114 yards and two touchdowns), including a 5-yard touchdown, put La Habra up 21-7 with 4:38 left in the second quarter.

Clements opened the scoring at 11:54 in the second on a 7-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jordan Salo off play-action.

of three touchdowns that put La Habra up 35-7.

La Habra linebackers Jordan Kessen (eight tackles) and Aaron Porter (seven tackles, including one for a loss) led the defense. Sowma finished with six tackles.

Cypress’ two scores came on a 43-yard pass play from Austin to Casey Eyman in the second quarter and a Vincent Rivera 2-yard touchdown run in the third.

Where is the story on this game are all of you sleepig on the job, give credit where it is to be given, this kids worked hard I see other teams scores is their a problem with san gabriel newspaper on giving san dimas some credit.

Notice there are no tears being shed for the Cantwell loss. You didn’t prove a point by removing the logo from the helmets…if you wanted to stand up for what you believe, then you should of quit the team. That would of send a loud message. Instead you had to take a long ride home with no support.

Anonymous

I thought the removing of the logos from the helmet by the Cantwell team sent the wrong message. They basically told everyone to “f off” with that move.

I get showing support for a teammate but you don’t piss of the people who supported you all year.

CSHM should of had a year to be proud of and remembered but they imploded instead.

Some things don’t change.

Chiefs, good game,
I’m a West Covina fan but want to say that Santa Fe
is a tough scrappy team that plays with heart, the game score was not indicative of the type of hard physical defensive game they played. This was the only defense I’ve seen this year that could slow down the WC run game. Chiefs way to represent. No shame in your game.

SpartanMOM

Schurr did not get hosed, they were less than perfect and Monrovia capitalized on our mistakes. Good Luck to the Wildcats.

SDHS Football Rules

Jesse,

This is Whittier Daily News, they normally don’t need, want or can’t cover teams that aren’t in their area.
San Dimas or Maranatha are not in their area.

Why is it that the WDN will cram La Habra down our throats but yet we haven’t heard one word about Sonora?? When was the last time their football team has done so well? I sure cant remember.

Anonymous

To SF parent…

Sonora is not considered to be in the Whittier Daily News circulation area while La Habra is. This point has been belabored time and time again on this blog.

Personally, I think it is a great story. Sonora has not been to a semifinal game since 1975 when they won a IF championship.

I’ve heard the game is being moved from La Habra HS to Cal State Fullerton.

Wow Campa! Nice work on covering your local teams. Seems like other papers/blogs have more coverage on our teams than you.
